    End Sub
End Class

for example, the plaza that i was about to click on (in the pic)
it is in combobox1, it is plaza, and its starting price is 1000000 dollars.

it has a starting price, but depending on how many somebody already owns it has a current price. you can find out the current price by plugging what you know into the equation:
newPrice = (current) + (toBuy) * (0.1 * startPrice)
you then plug the rest of these into some more code(not shown yet) to get the hours to save up.

my question is, how do i make an array that has the name and starting price associated with the combobox1.

so when i click the plaza it plugs the startPrice into the equation and it plugs the name into the msgbox output string.

please help, ive been struggling with this for a couple weeks now.
best regards!!!

        'Declare Array
        Dim properties(3, 1) As String
 
        'Set values of Array
        properties(0, 0) = "Plaza"
        properties(0, 1) = "1000000"
 
        properties(0, 0) = "Seaside Lot"
        properties(0, 1) = "1500000"
 
        properties(0, 0) = "Restaurant"
        properties(0, 1) = "3000000"
 
        'Retreive values of Array
        Dim newPrice, current, toBuy As Double
        newPrice = current + toBuy * (0.1 * properties(0, 1))
        'Declare Array
        Dim properties(3, 1) As String

        'Set values of Array
        properties(0, 0) = "Plaza"
        properties(0, 1) = "1000000"

        properties(0, 0) = "Seaside Lot"
        properties(0, 1) = "1500000"

        properties(0, 0) = "Restaurant"
        properties(0, 1) = "3000000"

        'Retreive values of Array
        Dim newPrice, current, toBuy As Double
        newPrice = current + toBuy * (0.1 * properties(0, 1))
